Want to know how my little dachshund Pauline made it from Moscow to Berlin at the height of Russia’s war against Ukraine? Then tune in and learn more. Would my new dachshund be a delivery from Russia with love? Or a delivery in war and peace? With Russia, you never know what to expect – but drama is always guaranteed.
For anyone living in Western Europe, Russia is less about Russia and more about our perception of it – and we love our imagination, which defines our taste in Russian music, literature and art.
Reliving the stunning turns and events of getting my dackel Pauline to Germany, I take a look at the long-standing special relationship between Germany and Russia: a story of love and hate, of gold and gas, of Rubel and Deutsche Mark and a tale of how current affairs can suddenly turn into something very personal.
